Hi peeps! I was experimenting with some watercolored backgrounds....I definitely need more practice! My card today is for the 52 (Christmas) Card Throwdown:
as well as the Jingle Belles' "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" challenge, which is to use music on your card! So here we go:
I hadn't put away my new Christmas Pines set, so after doing the watercolor background on my el-cheapo watercolor paper (wet it, dab on Pear Pizzazz ink, then dry with a heat gun), I stamped the pine bough in Garden Green, the "Noel" in Cherry Cobbler, and added some gold accents and stars:
But I thought it looked a bit bare, so I decided to try out one of the pine cone dies from the Pretty Pines set with some gold foil; WOWZA! Check these out:
I haven't been this jazzed up about a die for a long time! It creates an awesome effect! I added some sheet music DSP from last year's holiday catalog on a Cherry Cobbler card base, then stamped another sentiment and some more gold stuff on the inside, using a leftover piece of that el-cheapo stuff:
Another Christmas card for my stash!
And a little photo from Sunday's Fish Fry...my dad, Jim, with his two great-grandchildren, Jamison and Cassidy!! Love!
